Foton Harabas Miler

The Harabas Miler’s interior is no less practical than its exterior. However, instead of settling for bare-bones practicality, it comes fully equipped with features you’d expect to find in a luxury sedan. 

While the two-passenger fabric-upholstered adjustible seats are as basic as they come, the Harabas Miler surprisingly has a touchscreen infotainment system and LCD information cluster ergonomically positioned in the driver-side of the molded plastic dashboard. This Bluetooth compatible, charging-dock ready cluster also features analog controls for the electronic side mirrors, climate controls, power windows, speakers, and lights – all conveniently within arm’s reach. To add further functionality, the interior also features a bevy of storage compartments, cup holders, and the like.

The Harabas Miller showcases a box-shaped design that is in line with its intended purpose. However, rather than settling for the bare necessities, it adds some minor touches that elevate the whole into something that is more than just your regular cargo truck. For starters, it has a stylish, chrome-finished grille along with a robust front bumper with a mesh air dam inset with a pair of powerful LED fog-lights and daytime running lights. The front fascia proudly boasts the Foton crest and is equipped with large adjustable LED headlights that provide excellent illumination.

Its 13 cubic meter cargo box is no less robust with its no-nonsense construction that combines crisp, clean edges that is softened by four sliding-panel windows or one’s option of an industrial lock-and-bolt door. The whole vehicle provides ample space for personalization, making it an excellent blank canvas for branding or advertisement. 

Measuring 5,038 mm long, 1,920 mm tall, and 1,970 mm wide, with an 845 mm cargo floor height (which allows for easy loading and unloading), the Harabas Miler has more than ample space for all sorts of cargo.

In spite its of the fact that it is a mini-truck, the Harabas Miler carefully juggles the fine line of comfort and maneuverability. Though its leaf spring suspension rear is specifically designed to take on heavy loads, it does help greatly with proper weight distribution, allowing for additional comfort. With its 5.1 meter turning radius and hydraulics-assisted steering, you can expect added maneuverability and some precision if and when needed. 

The Harabas Miler comes with an inline 4-cylinder 5-speed manual 2.5L I4 turbodiesel engine capable of churning out 186 hp with 320 Nm of torque. It’s perfect for light-duty purposes but still able to hold its own when pushed to its limits. 

The Harabas Miler comes with all the standard safety features of all modern vehicles, plus an anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic stability control (ESC) for added safety during sudden swerves or sharp turns. 

If you’re looking for an excellent cargo-transport vehicle that’s not only affordable but also packed with features, the Foton’s 2024 offering of the Harabas Miler might just be your new go-to practical ride.
